China News Service, Beijing, August 13. The reporter learned from the China Sailing and Windsurfing Association that the 2022 Meisha Education National Youth Sailing League, Suzhou Wujiang Station, hosted by the China Sailing and Windsurfing Association and undertaken by the Suzhou Wujiang Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau The competition opened on the 12th in Suzhou Wujiang East Taihu Lake.
This is the third year that the event has been held in Suzhou. More than 200 captains from 24 clubs across the country set sail in the waters of Suzhou Bay.
There are 14 groups of men and women in this event, including OP, TOPPER 4.2, TOPPER 5.3, and ILCA 4.
The continuous high temperature in Suzhou recently is a real challenge for athletes.
In this regard, the competition organizing committee has made adjustments to the competition time. Every day, there will be two games in the morning and afternoon to avoid the high temperature at noon.
Ice buckets, drinks and related summer equipment were also prepared at the event site.
On the 12th, TOPPER 4.2, TOPPER 5.3, and ILCA4 male and female sailors set sail with the heat wave and breeze, and successfully completed a round of practice matches and a round of field matches.
In terms of OP level, as the group with the largest number of participants this year, the picture of the competition of hundreds of boats is spectacular, and the sailing is relatively difficult.
Fortunately, the wind in the afternoon was relatively strong. The OP women's team successfully completed a round of practice matches, while the OP men's team was affected by the echo weather in the afternoon and could only go back to the shore to "squeeze" the heat.
I can't help but praise the spirits of the young players who are not afraid of the heat and set sail.
